Product Description:
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell by chance into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins.
From Sauron's fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, his power spread far and wide. Sauron gathered all the Great Rings to him, but always he searched for the One Ring that would complete his dominion.
When Bilbo reached his eleventy-first birthday he disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin Frodo the Ruling Ring and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord, and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom.
The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the Wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the Dwarf; Legolas the Elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.
This new edition includes the fiftieth-anniversary fully corrected text setting and, for the first time, an extensive new index.
J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973), beloved throughout the world as the creator of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a fellow of Pembroke College, and a fellow of Merton College until his retirement in 1959. His chief interest was the linguistic aspects of the early English written tradition, but while he studied classic works of the past, he was creating a set of his own.

There are some books that change the genre that produces them, and there are others that are foundational to that genre, coming to define it. You can usually tell the latter by the number of times other authors repeat the same basic formula. For fantasy, there are really two such works: Robert E. Howard's "Conan" and J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings." The irony, of course, is that those who mimic such works rarely, if ever, rise to the level of the original-- in fantasy, the other great works ... Read More

This book looked amazing and got every bit the reaction I was hoping for. The only complaint I have is that upon reading it my husband has discovered a few typos and words not in the correct spacing. (words that are raised, away from the line of the regular sentence). The pages are thin so be careful. But overall we are very pleased with this selection. We were just hoping it would be perfect.

After having looked over other reviews here at Amazon as well other sites, I opted to order and was not disappointed. Aside from considerable savings (B & N offering the same item for ninety dollars with tax) I was much edified at the quality and taste-inherent to be had found in this overall (two piece,four pound) package. The leather is gorgeous, the print impeccable, the foldout maps of superior thought as well attention to detail (as noted by others, much care must be exercised to avoid damage upon ... Read More

I'm sure you all know the story of Lord of the Rings so I'm going to skip that and make this as short a sweet as I can. I view Lord of the Rings as a classic as I'm sure a few others do as well, and also think that Tolkien did a wonderful job bringing Middle-Earth to life in this epic. While the descriptions maybe long and at times it might not be as exciting as the movies I believe you get a better experience with the books than with the movies. While I agree with a few that there are some slow parts ... Read More
